Much love to y'all. Bye

TL;DR: I love you. WoW is great. Hope you all are blessed.

Hey y’all. It’s come time for me to finish up with WoW for now. For the few that know me, yeah I have at [many] times been such a bitter little pill and you may not like me much and you may be glad I’m leaving, but the feeling ain’t mutual. You rock. I always had a special place in my heart for people I disagree and fight with. TBH, beyond all that I just have an immense respect for people here, friend and foe, more than words can fully convey. For those like “Why post this?” and charges of “Attention seeking” or whatever, it’s cool. I post this because for years this community was my only meaningful interaction with other people. It’s far more important to me than a non-WoW game like Mario, Madden, or Mortal Kombat.

Loser-ish as it is, these forums have been the single best online community I have known in my entire life. Facebook, twitter, reddit, and stuff like that are places I either never signed up for, and for the ones I did sign up for it only was fun for a week because they’re boring. No spice. No verve. Really, those communities were yawn worthy, but these forums were the best. I am sad actually. My eyes are actually tearing up. That’s how much all this meant to me. I’ll really miss you all.

@ Blizzard and I mean everyone who works there>> the devs, cleaners, security guards, interns -everyone- please know this: You made and supported the best game I have ever played in my life, and you won that distinction by a country mile. I have never been a pro gamer, but since I was a kid back in the 80s I have been a very consistent gamer. I have owned virtually every game console and handheld released in North America since the early 1980s and owned over 1,000 games across them all, and this game, WoW, crushed them all in terms of sheer fun factor and positive impact on my life. I disagree with some stuff y’all do, but regardless this game was and continues to be awesome. I hope it lasts for many years to come.

Thanks for dealing with my nuttery over the years, sending the ambulance and cops here to stabilize me when I was suicidal, dealing with me melting down on the phone back in the day with tech support because “My glorious toons are messed up,” and working with me to preserve my BC era rogue, Sangs of Wyrmrest Accord, through my nasty divorce from a person who tried trashin all my toons.

Thank you for designing the most awesome and memorable toon in the history of gaming, the Human Female, which, helped me through my gender transition, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I am hardly alone in that as I have talked to other transgender people who were helped by gaming as well, especially MMOs like this one. To those who are annoyed or upset or disagree with what I just mentioned, I apologize… but I just wanted Blizz to know because it’s important to me. It’s no exaggeration, this game helped to save my life.

I’m done not because of anything bad Blizzard did. It’s not because Pathfinder, “the game is dying,” loot systems, toxicity, balance issues, the store, or anything like that. It’s just because I have grown disinterested in games. It’s kind of a bummer really as I was excited for KT Humans and LOVED the human-centric and maritime theme of this expac. I am just focusing on being a good wife and family woman. Not saying one can’t do that while playing, but for me my family and non-gaming hobbies just stole the spotlight WoW once had. I am so much more interested in sewing blankets, cooking, and helping my family nowadays than in the past lol.

SO with that loooong winded goodbye post I wish you all the best. The Americans, Aussies, Latin Americans, everyone… The SJWs (which is what I am, no hate), the MAGA folks, the guys and the gals, all races (in game and irl); all skill levels in WoW, Horde, Alliance, PvP’ers, you name it.

Much Love to all of you, live well, and God Bless

Best,

-Flo

incoming hate from the WoW sycophants and political armchair warriors alike.

Best of luck to you, and I hope if you do come back you find the game enjoyable. Who knows what the next expansion will bring. And good luck with the family stuff, it’s never easy but it’s always worth it.

Truly one of the saddest and most pitiable things I’ve ever read here, because I know very well the generic sheep suit one must squeeze themselves into in order to mesh with and/or bond with the community here to any degree.
